Level 4 – Four compulsory modules
This module places its emphasis on understanding the key underlying principles of English law, covering the core topics, including formation of contracts, capacity to contract and privity, performance and breach of contract and remedies for breach of contract.
This module examines general principles of criminal liability, a range of fatal and non-fatal offences against the person and selected offences against property. Attempts to commit offences, secondary liability and defences also form part of the curriculum.
This introduction to the English legal system seeks to convey what is distinctive about the common law approach as a legal methodology. The module is vital in initiating students into the process of legal research and the understanding of legal reasoning.
Focusing upon constitutional issues and reform, students will analyse key issues governing the relation between citizens and the state, including sovereignty and the division of powers between legislature, executive and administration.
Level 5 – Three compulsory modules
Equity and Trusts deals with the rules and principles governing the creation and operation of trusts (including express trusts, trusts arising as a matter of law and breach of trust), fiduciary relationships and equitable remedies.
Appealing to students who enjoy public law or who have an interest in public affairs, politics, economics or international relations, the module examines EU institutions and law-making powers as well as the key questions of the impact of EU law on national law and its overall consequences for business enterprises and individuals.

The module introduces students to the organising principles of tort law, such as damage, fault and vicarious liability. Students will explore each element of the cause of action in a negligence claim, with particular emphasis on the duty of care concept. The module builds on the duty of care concept to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of principles of liability governing pure economic loss, psychiatric harm and liability of public authorities. The module also explores those torts aimed at the safe and quiet enjoyment of land and protection of reputation.
Level 5 - One optional module chosen from
Administrative law is a hugely expanding field and its core purpose is to ensure that any decisions or actions taken by government are lawful and, when they are not, to provide redress for grievances. The module will appeal to students who enjoy public law and have an interest in public affairs.

Commercial law is concerned with obligations between parties to commercial transactions and the relationship with rules of personal property. Emphasis is placed on both knowledge of principles and the ability to apply the rules of law to achieve practical solutions to practical problems. Students will become familiar with a range of issues including: ownership of or title to goods; transfers of title and the effect on third parties; passing of property between buyer and seller.
Family law affects every member of society. Modern legal regulation of family relationships involves a complex relation between the family and the state. Marriage, divorce and the legal status of offspring are intertwined with questions of financial provision, child welfare and wider public policy issues.
This module concerns the protection afforded to individuals under international law and examines fundamental concepts, principles, theories and philosophies underpinning the law of international human rights, as well as the mechanisms enforcing and monitoring these rights.
Level 6 – Two compulsory modules
Jurisprudence poses fundamental questions about the nature of law, its place in society and how a legal system operates as a system of rules and as a social institution engaging with ideals of justice and often conflicting moral codes.
Property law centres on the concept of the nature of the various interests that can exist in land, the principles governing the creation, transfer and extinction of these interests and the extent to which those interests are enforceable against third parties.
Level 6 – Two optional modules chosen from
This module will focus on the procedural rules and processes that govern the conduct of criminal and civil legal actions. Students of this module will be expected to compare and contrast civil and criminal procedure and will need to have knowledge of the court system and the way in which civil and criminal justice is organised and dispensed.
A vital module for anyone intending to operate in a commercial field, the syllabus centres on the way the law regulates companies and the facilities that company law offers, such as limited liability and transferability of shares, as well as corresponding burdens such as duties of disclosure and compliance with statutory procedures.
Also known as private international law, this is the body of rules applied by the English courts to cases with a foreign element, dealing with core issues of jurisdiction, substantive decision- making and recognition of the laws of other jurisdictions.
Criminology examines, from a range of political, sociological, psychological and philosophical points of view, the relationship between the individual who breaks the laws of the state and the state’s power to lay down laws and punish those who transgress them.
The law of evidence governs what evidence may be presented and contested in the courtroom, techniques for eliciting evidence and the role of the lawyers, jury and judge in an adversarial system. Highly relevant to actual day-to- day legal practice, this module will appeal particularly to students intending to become courtroom lawyers.
The law of intellectual property rights seeks a difficult balance between rewarding the right owner of a piece of intellectual property, and the needs of society to gain access to scientific, technological or cultural benefits. It includes copyright, patent and trade mark law with particular emphasis on English law.
The module offers an overview of Islamic law, and addresses first the religious and historical foundations of Islamic law before going on to address its application in contemporary jurisdictions.
